Audio-Technica AT2040 Dynamic Podcast XLR Microphone

Taking cues from Audio-Technica's BP40 broadcast microphone, the rugged AT2040 dynamic microphone brings professional broadcast-quality sound and style to podcasters and other content creators at an accessible price. The microphone's multistage windscreen combines a nonwoven filter with foam mesh to provide superior internal pop filtering. At the same time, its integrated shock mount prevents unwanted noise by attenuating vibration from a boom arm or mic stand. The highly directional pickup (hypercardioid) keeps the sound focused on your voice and helps minimize unwanted room noise, ensuring professional-quality broadcasts.

The microphone comes with a pivoting stand mount, 5/8 "-27 to 3/8 "-16 threaded adapter, and a soft protective pouch. *Cable not included. XLR-style microphone cable is needed.
